Kristaps Porzingis: Warriors 'deal' means Giannis NBA trade 'is over'
""They have clearly moved on with these moves," Shams Charania told ESPN. "The Warriors' pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo is over"."
"The Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and New York Knicks are widely considered the frontrunners to sign Antetokounmpo if the 2019 and 2020 NBA Most Valuable Player ends his stay of more than 12 seasons with the Bucks. Charania said the Warriors had made a "pick-heavy offer" last week, with talks continuing this week before they reportedly realized that the Bucks will not allow Antetokounmpo before the deadline. He added that the Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis will join the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a 2026 second-round draft pick that originally belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers."
"Porzingis, whose $30.7 million contract finishes at the end of the season, has played 17 times for the Hawks in 2025/26. The 30-year-old has averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks across those appearances. A 2018 All-Star during his spell with the New York Knicks between 2015 and 2019, the Latvian also represented the Dallas Mavericks until 2022, the Washington Wizards until 2023 and the Boston Celtics until 2025."
Golden State traded Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis. The Warriors abandoned a pursuit of Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo after making a pick-heavy offer and concluding the Bucks would not allow a deal before the deadline. Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis will move to the Toronto Raptors for a 2026 second-round pick originally belonging to the Lakers. Porzingis has a $30.7 million contract that expires at season's end and has averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 blocks in 17 appearances for the Hawks in 2025/26. Porzingis is a 2018 All-Star with previous stops in New York, Dallas, Washington and Boston.
